    Just wondering, does anyone have any good ideas as to what I could get my boyfriend & friends for Christmas?

    This is what my sister & my boyfriend's best friend recommended for my BF:
    Christmas gift ideas? Gvsu
    I'm just not sure though. He does xc, wrestling, & track, loves the outdoors, hunts, hates snow & the cold... My friend is getting him a carton of ice cream because he alwyas eats hers, but he's in wrestling so he's watching his weight so I'm trying to avoid any food items.

    As for my friends, I kinda want to get them all the same thing, but each thing has to be a little special and different. Last year I got them all star ornaments with their names on it & necklaces.
    I don't want to go very expensive at all so keep in mind that I'm a high schooler on a budget when posting ideas. Thanks!

    A sweatshirt is perfect for a wrestler, the heavier the better.

    Thats true and if you really liked someone you would probably want to get them something personal and not a general thing like a giftcard.

    Are there any hunting or running stores near you? I'm not sure if that's what he wants, but maybe you could go with him and get a gift

    im probably gonna get a brick, put it in a box, and wrap it up and tell my friends not to open it until they get home. then they have to lug around a brick all day during school lol.
    i might take a fire extinguisher from somewhere, and wrap it up and give it to one of my friends that i do stupid stuff with.
    and i might give a pineapple or a potato to one of my friends just for the lulz.

    yea...you guys probably wouldnt like my presents

    yeah, i actually need to come up with a real gift idea though for one of my friends, since she actually gives me legit presents (she gave me these sweet running socks for my birthday.http://www.runnersworld.com/photo/holiday_gifts_for_him/slide8.html ) so i think i should probably get her something not retarded.
    ehh i'll probably ending up giving her some chocolate and also some sweatbands she gave me previously that i never used...see if she notices haha

    hmm maybe your right lol. i think i'll just burn her a bunch of music onto a CD since shes always to lazy to download anything new.

    oh, and i have decided wut im getting for a couple of my friends. for the captain of the xc team, im just going to do my above-mentioned brick idea, which is ironic because today in psychology class we talked about functions of a brick.

    for another friend im getting him a framed picture of hiroshima getting bombed on one side and pearl harbor getting bombed on the other. we always make fun of him for being half japanese and half caucasian (not actual make fun, just joking around). i'll throw in some candy with it as well.

    one of my friends, im gonna jack a fire extinguisher from a store or something, and put it in a garbage bag and wrap it up. hes the one i always do stupid stuff with.

    one of my friends is kind of emo. like he doesnt dress or look emo at all, but hes goes through depressed phases. its really complicated and a really long story, but pretty much, this guy is just weird, and he likes this girl, who is friends with the cross country captain and so he has like a vendetta with him and pretty much hates him. what im gonna get him is a shoebox with a heartshaped picture of the girl he likes and the cross country captain. lulz will ensue.

    one of my friends is on 4chan as much as i'm on RT, so he knows a bunch of retarded internet jokes like raptor jesus, mudkipz, etc, so im gonna make him crappy stuffed versions of Raptor Jesus, Mudkip and Pedobear.

    and for my friend thats french, i'll get him a rubber chicken. nuff said.
